Comparison Of Dust Generation From Open Cut And Trenchless Technology Methods For Utility Construction
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Construction industry has changed many aspects of human life and is still evolving at a rapid pace. New and better technologies which are environmentally friendly and safe are being introduced in this industry. But with ...
Carbon Footprint Analysis Of A Large Diameter Water Transmission Pipeline Installation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
The term pipeline refers to a long line of connected segments of pipe, with pumps, valves, control devices, and other equipment or facilities needed for operating the system. Water transmission pipelines are generally large ...
The Effects Of A Variable Modulus Of Elasticity On Prestress Losses In Bridge Girders
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The purpose of this research is to evaluate a method proposed by Franz Dischinger (Dischinger, 1939) to consider the effects of a variable modulus of elasticity (MOE) of concrete over a period of time. Current guidelines ...
An Investigation Of Productivity Loss Due To Outdoor Noise Conditions
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Most people in day to day life at one time or other get irritated or distracted by surrounding noises. The irritation might have resulted in minor aggravation or may have been dramatic enough to hinder their work. This ...
Evaluation Of Trenchless Renewal Methods For Potable Water Distribution Pipes
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Undoubtedly, potable water pipes, as part of an underground infrastructure system, play a key role in maintaining quality of life, health and well being of human kind. As these potable water pipes reach the end of their ...
Characterization And Evaluation Of Gas Generation Potential Of Municipal Solid Waste From A Closed Section Of A Landfill
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
At present, there are more than 40 closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills around DFW and North Texas. A closed landfill might have potential benefits for gas recovery and utilization due to the presence of organic ...
Evaluation Of Building Information Modeling Applications For Small Construction Companies
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
This thesis concerns developing recommendations to help small construction company's transition from traditional two dimensional plans to a Building Information Modeling (BIM) management process. Due to the cost of ...
Evaluation Of Training Needs For Building Information Modeling (BIM)
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The basic premise of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is to use and share the digital model of a project as a source of information for all participants, in order to simulate and analyze potential problems during the ...
Determination Of Geotechnical Properties Of Clayey Soil From Resistivity Imaging (RI)
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The use of resistivity imaging (RI) in the subsurface investigation has increased in recent years. RI is a non destructive method and provides a continuous image of the subsurface. Based on the electrical conduction ...
Local Calibration Of Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide For North Eastern United States
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) developed under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 1-37A project is based on mechanistic-empirical analysis of the pavement structure to predict ...
